The Shaman Anokye Story. This is a documentary of Okomfo Anokye, 
a 17th Asante priest and African Prophet. He occupies a Merlin-like position in Asante history. He placed a sword into the ground that until this day no one has been able to remove (although many have tried) He conjured a Golden chair from the heavens, which the British wanted but never got. His story is more than one of myth and magic. His real legacy is pointing a way to lasting African unity.
Art Director. Nando Nkrumah, recently selected by Adobe as ‘creative person of the week’. Check out his site and some his drawings that will bring the Prophet Anokye to life.http://www.nandonkrumah.com/
